Mrs. Jiang continued, "The Hes really have clout. Ever since your father had his misfortune, their family has stopped visiting us. We gave them new year gifts customary to their position, but what they gave us in return didn't even match what they would give to their close friends. I think, even if your father wasn't met with such disaster, but simply demoted, this marriage wouldn't be able to be arranged."
Chen Afu replied, "If that's the case, it's actually good news for Chen Yuhui."
Mrs. Jiang snorted, "But Yuhui doesn't think so, crying and wailing every day, as if she's scared of losing this marriage proposal..."
That man is rotten to the core, Chen Afu muttered under her breath, laughing coldly, before sending Mrs. Jiang away.
After dinner, Chen Afu braced herself and took Dabao alone to the West Side Room.
